Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of axial flow fan technology, specifically to an air seal structure and air seal adjustment tooling suitable for axial flow fans. Background Technology

[0002] Axial flow fans are widely used; they are a type of fan where the airflow direction is the same as the fan blade axis, such as electric fans and air conditioner outdoor unit fans. They are called "axial flow" because the gas flows parallel to the fan axis. Axial flow fans are typically used in applications requiring high flow rates but low pressure. An axial flow fan is fixed in position and moves air.

[0003] For example, the Chinese authorized patent (CN214101050U) entitled "(A Double-Sealing Structure for an Axial Flow Fan Motor)" includes: a motor shaft and a motor housing. A front end cover is fixedly mounted on the motor housing. A shaft hole is located at the center of the front end cover, through which the motor shaft passes. An annular groove 1 and an annular groove 2 are coaxially arranged within the shaft hole. An outer sealing ring is located in an annular groove 1, and an inner sealing ring is located in an annular groove 2. Both the outer and inner sealing rings are fitted onto the motor shaft. A water-proof shell is also fitted onto the end of the front end cover near the outer sealing ring. A protective grille is provided at the opening of the water-proof shell. A water-absorbing sleeve is filled inside the protective grille and the water-proof shell. A humidity sensor is located inside the water-absorbing sleeve and is connected to a controller. By setting up structures such as the outer sealing ring, the problem of poor motor sealing effect can be solved, extending the service life of the motor.

[0004] However, the enlargement of the existing air seal working clearance leads to problems such as oil leakage and corrosion in the bearing housing. The original air seal is large in size and has high precision requirements. During air seal installation, the fan needs to be disassembled, and only the rear plate needs to be installed on the bearing housing for air seal center calibration to ensure the air seal working clearance. The installation process is complicated and will affect the fan's dynamic balance. Therefore, it does not meet the current requirements. In response, we have proposed an air seal structure and air seal adjustment tooling suitable for axial flow fans. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an air seal structure and air seal adjustment fixture suitable for axial flow fans, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, such as the complex installation process of calibrating the air seal center on the bearing box after installation to ensure the working gap of the air seal, which also affects the dynamic balance of the fan.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an air seal structure suitable for axial flow fans, comprising: an axial flow fan body, wherein a bearing housing baffle is provided at the center position inside the axial flow fan body;

[0009] Preferably, a fan blade is provided between the axial flow fan body and the bearing housing baffle, and a plurality of fan blades are provided, with both ends of the plurality of fan blades being welded to the axial flow fan body and the bearing housing baffle, respectively.

[0010] Preferably, the bearing housing baffle has an inner cavity, and the inner end of the bearing housing baffle has a first mounting hole, and there are several first mounting holes, all of which are integrally formed with the bearing housing baffle.

[0011] An air seal adjustment fixture suitable for axial flow fans includes a central shaft, which is installed inside an inner cavity. A central adjustment rod is provided above and below the outer wall of the central shaft, and two sets of central adjustment rods are provided.

[0012] Also includes:

[0013] A measuring shaft is mounted above the central shaft, which is fixedly connected to the measuring shaft via a first connector. A connecting rod is provided at the front end of the measuring shaft, and a measuring head is provided at the lower end of the connecting rod.

[0014] Preferably, the upper end face of the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the measuring shaft via a second connector, and the measuring head is fixedly connected to the lower end face of the connecting rod via a third connector.

[0015] Preferably, the two sets of central adjusting rods are internally provided with connecting shafts at both ends, one end of the two sets of connecting shafts is rotatably connected to the central shaft, and the other end of the two sets of connecting shafts is fixed to the first mounting hole bolt.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] 1.

Finally, the measuring head measures the adjusted position of the air seal carbon structure ring to perform a one-turn air seal center calibration test. This simplifies the center calibration test and avoids the problems of the existing installation method where the air seal center calibration is performed on the bearing box after installation, ensuring the air seal working clearance, which is complicated and affects the fan's dynamic balance.
